    I cant figure out this temp fluctuation

    Trying to get some outside perspective on this. Boat is a 05' 25ft Tracker Marine Tahoe with a I/O 350 MAG MPI, Bravo One drive. Last year I overheated due to overdue risers and manifolds. Shut it down before any damage occurred. Got new risers, and manifolds put on with a new raw water impeller...

What I did notice is that once I key everything...

    Help with water temp

    Ok, I will start there. The thing is with my stuck open thermometer I was not getting wonky readings. Any way my air in the system theory is contributing? I am more a car guy, so still learning with boats.
